Denison Wins Again !!!

The Denison Yellow Jackets defeated Sulphur Springs
49-35 today in a state quarter-final game of the Texas
High School Football Playoffs. The game was played
at Gerald Ford Stadium on the campus of S.M.U. in
Dallas.
The win avenges a loss to the Wildcats in this round
of the playoffs one year ago. Sulphur Springs went on
to be the 2008 State Champions in Class AAAA.
Denison used the running of quarterback Jordan Taylor
and tailback D.J. Jones to end the reign of Sulphur
Springs. The Yellow Jackets had 570 yards of total
offense in the contest as Jones ran for 166 yards on
just 7 carries, and Taylor ran for 223 yards and passed
for 190 more. As good as the offense was, the defense
was equal to the task, limiting Sulphur Springs to only
4 touchdowns in 12 trips inside the Denison 20 yard line.
The win moves Denison to 13-1 on the year and also
into a semi-final round game next week against Aledo.
That game to be played at C.H. Collins Stadium in
Denton next Saturday. Aledo defeated Everman 34-22
to advance to the semi-final round. Denison is seeking
to gain entry into the state title game for the first
time since 2000.
